conversations

conversations are like a preview of what to expect from a person. The way we communicate our thoughts through words or actions somehow translates to what kind of person we are. People view us in part by first impressions (mostly by the way we look and act) then understands us wholly through conversations.

Everything we say and convey to another person, from short phrases to hour long life stories, will make a lasting impression. The words we choose to use also makes a big difference...even the tone of how we say it bears great significance. That's why the Apostle Paul advised the church in Colossus to let their conversation be full of grace and seasoned with salt.

Life will always be full of conversations! Be a good steward on how you handle them...

Realities

When things unexpectedly turn to our favor and liking...we forget the realities and responsibilities that come with it. We jump in too soon...not realizing the dangers we are about to run into. Sometimes we are ignorant of that fact...sometimes we intentionally turn a blind eye. Whatever the case may be...it's still detrimental to our emotional, mental and spiritual make up.

I'm not here to burst your bubble...but think of me as a reminder! As long as we are here on earth...the imperfections of life should always be considered. A good thing enjoyed in the wrong time is technically wrong! Believe me...I know!

I pray that we learn to live within the bounderies of the realities of life...it will lessen the probability of heart aches!

aged with grace

Every second we age...the moment you finish reading this sentence, you've already aged. It's inevitable. It's unstoppable. When God started time in the beginning, it did not yet have the ageing effect...death was not yet introduced til eve listened to the devil and disobeyed the only commandment that was ever given. What happened next is history.

Now...we have no choice but to live with the fact that everyone will meet their own demise sooner or later. But then God sent His only begotten Son to give us hope that transcends the boundaries of our time here on earth. We are given the opportunity to live with an eternal purpose! Jesus Christ who was never bound with time in the beginning willingly entered our realm to take on the punishment for our sins so that our existence may have an eternal value. Jesus experienced a sudden demotion during his time here on earth...scripture even said that He emptied himself and did not use His deity to better Himself. All that He endured with us in mind.

Now, as we continue our journey in this death bound and cursed life...we have to live for Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21 that for him, living is Christ and dying is great gain! And the secret in getting through all the problems and predicaments life has to offer is a greater understanding of God,s grace! His GRACE is sufficient for us!

Yesterday, my grandmother turned 83. We celebrated her birthday in Loyola Memorial Park, Marikina City...where my grandfather is laid to rest. I can sense the sadness my lola (grandmother) is feeling...but I can see the grace of God in her life as she celebrates life! She understands the natural way of life...but she also recognizes a higher law governing everything in this world...and that's Grace!

Don't be caught up in the fast paced lifestyle of today...take time to realize the wonderful things God has provided...enjoy life...age with grace!
